cross extended on either side, apparently abont one degree; at the extremity of each arm was an upright column, seen through thin clouds. The pillars were variegated like a rainbow. When the moon was abour r three hours high, the cross and the columns disappeared and several bright and distinct circles succeeded; at one time as many as | six great circles were visible. From ten to eleven (when I went to bed) two circles only were displayed, but those were very bright and beautiful; and what, to me, j seemed most s range, part of the eircum ference of the one ran through the centre ^ of the other?a clear and complete belt.?

The Missouri Republican, of April 29. thus proves that Lincoln is fully committed to the doctrine of secession : Abraham Lincoln a Teacher o f Seres ?*? ./ 17 Tf tt7ill nrnKaKlt? enr. 3U/II ' 1 . ?* "ill jjivvuvy >?.. prise Liocolo's friends qaite as much as we have beeo surprised, to learn that he is fully and unequivocally committed to the very "philosophy" which he is now endeavoring to "crush out," by bringing to bear against its adherents the whole military power of the Government. Yet such is the fact. The following is an extract from a speech delivered by Abraham Linooln, (the same Linooln who is now President of the United States,) in the House of Representatives. January 12,1848. And in order to enable every reader to assure himself of its authenticity, we will mention that the speech may be found in the Appendix to the Congres| sional Globe of the 30th Congress, (First Session,) page 94. The following is a literal extract: "Any people, anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits theoi better. This is a most valuable, a most sa cred right?a right which, we hope and believe, is to liberate the world. Nor is this right confined to cases in which the whole people of an existing government may choose to exercise it. Any portion of such people thxtcazi, may revulutiouize and make their own of so much of the territory as they inhabit. More than this, a majority of any portion of such people may revolutionize, put down a minority, intermingled with, or near about them, who may oppose their movements. Such minori ty was precisely the case of the Tories of our own Revolution. It is a quality of revolu tions not to go by old lines, or old laws, but to break up botb and wake new ones." The Law op Clothing in Regard to Volunteers Received into the Con I federate Service ? Muoh misunder standing seems to exist among the volun teer forces called ioto the Confederate ser vice, io relation to the subject of clothes aod clothing, and yet the law of Cougress controlling the question is quite clear, am; admits of no two constructions. Many vol t tititeer companies and battalions aud roai-1 ments entered the Confederate service, with the idea that the War Department would supply all deficieuces of clothing among theui,aud would moreover be prepared with future supplies to meet the accruing wants \ of the soldiers; and, consequently, are now I suffering in this respect, because of the; > want of proper information iu tue begin-1 ? rr* LI. | mug, whtcn their omcers ana trie oiaie uu ; thorities should have given. The law of Congress, as set forth in the act "to provide for the public defence," reads a a folluws, to wit: "Said volunteers shall furnish their own j clothes. When called into active service i and while remaining therein, instead of clothing, every non-commissioned officer' and private in any company shall be entitled j to money, in a sum equal to the oust of j clothing of a non-com missioned officer or; priva.e in the regular ai.'uiy of the Confeder- j ate States." By this law volunteers provide, at all j times, their own clothing, aud receive there-j for commutation in money, and in the pa*-; sage of the law, Congress evidently had in ! view those public exigences that required i large forces to be thrown into the field, while yet the Government was in its infancy ! and stood provided with no regular quarter-i master organization. We have been thus explicit because it is! highly desirable the matter should be thor i oughly understood, as well amoug those1 troops already in service, as among those! who are daily expecting to be called into; service. And we think it would beweii; for the newspaper press generally, to set i forth, as we have done, the subject in the' , light of the law and the reason of the law : [Montgomery Advertiser, j ^ Republican Foreign Policy.

Changes on Morris Island.?As the site of the old Furt Moultrie, of the Revolu? tion, is covered by the waters of the ocean, so does that part of Morris Island, where our batteries were planted agaiu>t Sumter, Beemed destined to be washed away. The | encroachments of the sea have lately beeu greater than at aoy previous period, and Cumuiing's Point will, if they coutinue,1 soon cease to be. Some of the works which it was not deemed necessary to level, and which we had supposed might remain for; years, evidences of the industry of our troops have melted away. The t^ts, even, j I of some of the troops now guarding the channel batteries, were washed down, and' their camp had to be removed.

"The magnitude of the prep.tiiiiions which J the commanding genera! considered neces 1 sary to making a sure job of the bombard- 1 tnent of Pickens may be estimated by con- 1 sidering the number of men who have been unceasingly at work for so long.

With h spirit worthy of his great name take, "Old Hick ory." he stood by his and when the i minions of Lincoln proposed to cut it down , ho defied them Although Alexandria r*i< j then a conquered city, occupied by a hos- , iile force, not one of that force had the , courage to come forward hut the Colonel uf the ''Fire Zouaves," of New York, Col Ellsworth. He cut down that flag. and was instantly shot dead by the couragi <>us keep- j er of the hotel over which the flag was t raised, though he knew that the pulling of , that trigger was his death warrant. The Regiment, seeing their Colonel fall, avenged his death by hewing Mr. Jackson to pieces with their sabre bayonets. It seems to us no wonder that the Gov i eminent at Washington are in mourning > for the death of Col Ei'sworth, for he was the first one of all their tr-.ops that had sufficient courage to cut down a secession flag, i even with a regiment at his back. \Vfe have learned that it is in cotiteuipla ion to raise a fund in this city as a testinoniul to the memory of this Mr Jackson, he first martyr in the pood cause.
